I absolutely HATED this finale while being marginally neutral from the beginning. Great techs as usual. Screenplay so awful.
George, you’re like honey in a pyramid. Finish your GD series.

Hey Bruce-ster! Did you know you’re “not as smart as you attempt to sound” and that NO-ONE “questions the BBC?” Ah-hahahaha!!!!!! Absolutely hilarious. Aesop’s Fables stuff….

I dont listen to her music, although I have nothing against her. Mind if I change the question after several pages?

How’d you like to see GoT end? Who gets the 7 Kingdoms? Is there one left?

Well heck. I’ve watched every, single, team I have rooted for go down, often in seven and overtime!
Hmmmmm…..I guess I’ll be cheering for Carolina, although I barely give a sheet now…..

They are both terrific. But since the Duchess of Marlborough was a real person who purportedly was very much like her portrayal I’ll go with Weisz. Plus, I am biased. I LOVE Weisz and all of her work.

Best Moments:
The Divine Ms. M
Barbara Streisand
Queen showing up despite not listening to their music much
Colman’s win and her speech; and Glenn’s gracious response
Spike’s brilliant screenplay win

Worst Moments:
Some of the outfits
Bradly Cooper’s face
None of the class of the BAFTAS
The Production Design of the show
Sound Editing of the show

Let’s not forget Bonaparte, Webster, and Brad Renfro’s neighbour Ian McKellen in Apt Pupil. See a pattern here? Lol

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

I’ve seen many films this year, but I feel compelled to comment on Mary Queen of Scots, an esoteric field I am very interested in.

I drove over two hours to see this, because it opened in limited release and this was the nearest showing. I didn’t mind the drive. Beautiful. It was Christmas Day.

The cinematography is gorgeous, and the costume designs, authentic….

As an amateur historian and major fan of history I had to see this, and now. I had very few expectations, which was good.

For me to actually feel boredom watching this astonished me. But what really made me laugh out loud was that Bess of Hardwick is played by the gorgeous Gemma Chan.
I understand the “why”. It’s too bad Josie didn’t cast Ian McKellen as Mary. Why not?

And poor poor Margot Robbie. I don’t blame her at all for this. Her agent, maybe.
Ronan has never disappointed me, although a handful of her films have.

Only for fans, and only for a marginal laugh. The WHY of making this film continues to escape me.

You’re attempting to engage those with cognitive dissonance so deeply entrenched, it’s likely terminal. They’ll search out anything which aligns with their CD including bathroom graffiti and gum-wrapper horoscopes.
Actually, if Lee had had more money, he may have had a fighting chance. ….

As a Canadian liberal, who look like communists to many Americans, I cannot believe what I am seeing. The left doesn’t need any enemies nor critics. They’ve managed to do that to themselves by their lunatic behaviours.

Kavanaugh, isn’t going to overturn Roe vs Wade. That was my main concern.

Hey Ford…how’s your BFF feeling now? You know, the BLONDE who lost?

Keep up the opposition Bruce.
